He'll Be Back...
Ben Thatcher is confident fellow thug and 'not that type of player' Ryan Shawcross will make a full recovery from his crocodile tears after butchering Aaron Ramsey last weekend by accident. Thatcher said: "He will get back to how he was, knowing him as I do, if anyone has any doubts about him coming back they will see he will come back even stronger because that is the type of guy he is even though he's not that type of guy..."
"He's alright. He'll have to be - he's got no choice. I'll tell him that. He's still probably a little bit down and in shock, but he has got a good family around him and some good friends in fact, not sure if you've heard, but his Mum picked him up from the stadium, so she'll know all about it, even though she's not that type of Mum..."
Thatcher added: "I don't want to see it. I don't want to see any picture of it. By all accounts though there were almost real tears. It wasn't nice over the weekend. It's been a tough few days, but it's been nice speaking to him and telling him to get back on the pitch as soon as possible..."
Waddle on Theo...
Chris Waddle has been speaking out about Theo Walcott, despite not actually being asked: "I've never seen him develop. He just doesn't understand the game for me – where to be running, when to run inside a full-back or just play a one-two. People keep saying to me: 'Oh he’s young and he’ll learn'. I keep thinking, 'Fabregas has learnt and he’s young, Rooney has learnt... they all read the game so well'. I just don’t think he’s got a football brain and he’s going to have problems..."
Waddle as you may remember had no problems at all with his football brain, in England he won everything there was to win with Sheffield Wednesday, Spurs and Newcastle, like the old er... oh.. and internationally, well, he just went nuts with the trophies, he cost England a World Cup Final appearance, oh for a football brain like that...
Luke Freeman has 13 in 15 games...
International Round Up...
Fabregas played 45 mins for Spain, Bendtner scored for Denmark, another great header. The Arshavin, despite being injured scored for Russia, Vela-ela-ela scored for Mexiconi before going off injured, and Theo was a bit rubbish for England...
